TA March 2012 Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the main a¢hievements of the charity during the year, The Living Room. It is not easy to assess the main achievements but we have taken clients who are considered by other agencies to be hard to reach. Typically, these have been people who for one reason or another have failed to engage with the authorised agencies. Using a gentle approach our guests have gained in confidence, realised their abilities and in many cases started to engage with the authorities who can move them on into housing. Part of that prO￿sS has seen them become willing to further their recovery by accessing. for example, addiction support at Turning Point andlor housing and educational support at Crisis. Our guests find the community life that The Living Room provides is very supportive as d￿$ the non-judgemental approach of our volunteers. Winter Night Shelter.
